Doug attended Berlin Elementary and Spaulding High, graduating from U-32 in 1995. Doug had several jobs, including Sugarbush, Enough Ministries, World Paper, and recycling K-cups. Doug was cared for by his daycare provider, Lisa Rowell of Calais, VT, and his cousin Andrew Martin. It was said many times that Doug was the life of the party- he truly was! His hobbies included everything Elvis, visiting Graceland on his 30th birthday, fishing, camping, bonfires, jeeping, his guitar, drawing, painting, and the occasional yard work. His favorite, though, was having a cold beer with the boys! Doug was known far and wide; he introduced himself as "his Mom's son". He had a gift for making many people his friends! He was loved by many. Calling hours will be held on Thursday, August 21st, from 7 to 9 that evening at Kingston Funeral Home, 35 Slate Avenue, Northfield, VT. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, August 30th, at 11 am, at Northfield Falls Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow at the family's discretion. A very special thank you to Upper Valley Services of Moretown, VT, Deb Reed of Montpelier, VT, the hospice and visiting nurses of the Barre area, and to the many day providers over the years.
